Project 4

As we can see the GeoJSON data has more neighborhoods than our arrest data. So let's see what's different

After some manual inspection of each table, I found some pairs that had a different name for the same area. However there are still some remaining neighborhoods there is no data for, so we will not include those on our map.

Much of the following code for formatting this Folium map is sourced from Navid Mashinchi's article "How to Step Up your Folium Choropleth Map skills". Source

From this map we can see that generally the most arrests happen near the city center, and decreases the farther away from downtown the neighborhood is. There are however some troublesome areas in the North West and North East quadrants of the city. The neighborhoods with a higher arrest count are also grouped together, which meets expectations.

This map would be helpful for knowing which areas to avoid if you want to avoid criminal activity.
